Just as Yi 'er had said, Seventh Madame had prepared a table of delicacies and fine wine to celebrate Han Yunxi and the rest.
Not just Yi 'er, but even Seventh Madame had a particularly good impression of Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue had changed out of his white medical gown and was now wearing a crescent-white gown. He looked like a gentleman from an aristocratic family, gentle as jade.
There wasn't much etiquette at the dining table. Instead, they chatted and laughed. However, just as they were happily chatting, a golden needle suddenly flew towards Han Yunxi and accurately landed in Han Yunxi's bowl!
Gu Beiyue's eyes flashed. He was about to make a move when he saw the golden needle in the bowl and suddenly froze.
It was a five-bladed plum blossom needle, the lowest grade of the Tang Clan's needles. However, even if it was the lowest grade, it wasn't that easy to obtain the real thing.
Judging from the craftsmanship and material of this plum blossom needle, it was definitely from the Tang Clan!
Was it someone from the Tang Clan?
Before anyone could react, Gu Beiyue's mind flashed with multiple thoughts and hypotheses. Still, his gentle, jade-like face didn't betray any of them.
Han Yunxi stood up abruptly. At this moment, Yi 'er and Seventh Madame panicked. Seventh Madame instinctively shielded Yi' er in her arms and immediately shouted, "Guards! Guard … "
Before she could shout a second time, a man dressed in red appeared out of thin air and landed in front of Seventh Madame. He lowered his head slightly, like a mysterious fox demon from a dark world, his entire body emitting a dangerous aura.
His long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he gave Seventh Madame a meaningful look. Seventh Madame was so frightened that she couldn't close her gaping mouth and couldn't make a sound.
On the other side, Han Yunxi said sternly, "Gu, it's you again!"
Even if the Han Clan's guards came, they wouldn't be able to deal with this guy. Han Yunxi directly rushed over and stretched out her arms to protect Seventh Madame and Yi 'er behind her. She fiercely questioned, "You're haunting us. What do you want?"
Faced with Han Yunxi's ferocious attitude, Gu Qishao didn't get angry. Instead, his dark eyes lit up. He didn't know if he would mind if this woman really wanted to kill him one day. In any case, he didn't take the poisoning incident to heart.
Although his long and narrow eyes were still narrowed, his smile was especially mischievous. "I won't really hurt you, why are you so nervous?"
"You're scaring me!"
Han Yunxi said unhappily, her gaze drifting to his right hand. Seeing that it was perfectly fine except for a thin layer of gauze, she finally relaxed.
Her glance didn't escape Gu Qishao's eyes. Delighted, he waved his hand in front of Han Yunxi's face. "What, are you worried about my hand?"
"Why isn't it? It's such a waste of my poison! "
Han Yunxi's tone was sharp and vicious, but Gu didn't mind. His right hand waved like a magic trick, revealing a plum blossom needle.
"This is yours, right?"
Gu had two plum blossom needles in his hands. He had taken them from Leisurely Cloud Pavilion last time.
"You stole my things! Give it back! "
Han Yunxi reached out to snatch it back. Although she had many plum blossom claws in her residence, she wouldn't mind if there were more of them. She had asked around and found that the Tang Clan's authentic weapons rarely leaked out.
No one noticed that Gu Beiyue revealed a shocked expression. He originally thought that the golden needle concealed weapon was Gu's, but he didn't expect it to be Han Yunxi's!
Whether it was the plum blossom needle in the bowl or the one in Gu's hand, they were all authentic weapons from the Tang Clan!
The Tang Clan never interacted with outsiders. The Tang Clan's concealed weapons were either destroyed after use, unable to be used a second time, or recycled. No matter how worthless they were, they wouldn't easily fall into the hands of outsiders!
Was this woman related to the Tang Clan?
Her poison skills were of unknown origin, but they were so exquisite. If she was related to the Tang Clan, could it be …
Gu Beiyue seemed to have thought of something. His gentle eyes suddenly lit up like the blazing sun, full of hope!
Gu had been hiding in the imperial capital for so many days, and finally found a chance to get close to Han Yunxi. Of course, he had to get to the bottom of this. As for the Han Family and the imperial physician, he didn't care at all, so he didn't avoid it.
Thus, he was very direct. "Your biological father isn't Han Congan, right?"
When Gu said this, Han Yunxi was so shocked that she almost fell. How did this guy know about this secret? She always thought that only Han Congan knew about this!
Han Congan couldn't have told him. Could it be that this guy knew about Madam Tianxin's secret?
Han Yunxi's heart thumped wildly. Of course, even though she was full of suspicion, she still denied it at once. "Gu, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you want? "
Unexpectedly, Gu was very serious. "The Tang Clan's women don't marry outside the family, and Madam Tianxin isn't from the Tang Clan. Therefore, your father must be from the Tang Clan!"
Cough cough!
What was this all about?
Han Yunxi widened her bright eyes and stared at Gu. Gu didn't know what to think anymore. He hurriedly explained, "The Tang Clan's concealed weapons are not passed to outsiders, otherwise … where did you get this from?"
So …
Han Yunxi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Instead of answering him, she asked, "Why should I tell you?"
The Plum Blossom Needle was given to her by Tang Li. Tang Li was wanted by the Tang Clan because he ran away from his marriage. No matter who asked, she couldn't betray Tang Li. Furthermore, Tang Li gave her the concealed weapons because of Long Fei Ye. She couldn't reveal the friendship between Long Fei Ye and Tang Li.
"Poison Girl, this is very important to me. I risked my life to ask you this. Long Fei Ye's secret guards are still outside. Can you really bear not to tell me?"
Gu looked pitiful. She didn't know if he was telling the truth.
Han Yunxi pretended to sigh. "Alright, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. This is a fake. I bought it from the roadside for fun."
She was suspicious. Why did this guy care so much about the Tang Clan's concealed weapons?
"Poison Girl, aren't you being too unkind? This is clearly the real deal. "Gu was unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi took the opportunity to ask, "How can you be so sure that this is the real deal? What's your relationship with the Tang Clan?"
Han Yunxi had been studying these concealed weapons for some time now. Of course, she had compared the real deal with the fake. If one wasn't an expert, or someone like her who had the real deal with the fake, it would be very difficult to tell the difference in a short period of time.
"Because I've studied it! This is definitely the real deal! "Gu was very serious.
"Why are you studying the Tang Clan's concealed weapons? How important is this to you?" Han Yunxi continued to ask.
Gu was about to answer when he suddenly stopped. He realized that he had fallen into Han Yunxi's trap.
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly closed in. He threatened, "Poison Girl, this young master is asking you one last time. Are you going to tell me … or not?"
He was clearly emitting a dangerous aura from his eyes, but Han Yunxi was strangely not afraid. She put on a fake smile and suddenly raised her hand. The needle appeared and was about to sweep past Gu's face. Unfortunately, Gu was faster than her and grabbed her wrist.
Han Yunxi kicked out. Just as the needle hidden in the tip of her shoe was about to pierce Gu's knee, he easily dodged and took the opportunity to trip Han Yunxi.
"Ah!"
Han Yunxi suddenly lost her center of gravity and toppled to the right. Gu Qishao leisurely reached out and caught her by the waist.
He leaned forward, his beautiful eyes filled with a sinister threat. "Poison Girl, you've already used up your last chance. Now …"
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Han Yunxi suddenly spat out a golden needle from her mouth. Gu did not expect this and dodged to the side. Han Yunxi took the opportunity to grab his injured right hand and unceremoniously stabbed the needle hidden in between her fingers!
Gu was in so much pain that his face turned pale. Han Yunxi struggled out of his grip and pulled away from him. She said Coldly, "I bought these concealed weapons at a high price from the black market. I have nothing to do with the Tang Clan. It's up to you to believe it or not!"
Gu was about to ask again when the silent Gu Beiyue suddenly shouted, "Guards … Guards, there's an assassin! Protect the Princess Consort! "
No one expected Gu Beiyue to call for help at this time.
Gu obviously didn't care about the Long Fei Ye guards. However, these days, the Long Fei Ye's secret guards had been secretly following Han Yunxi. When the secret guards didn't enter the Han Residence, Gu slipped in. With Gu Beiyue's shout, it was terrible.
Reality proved that Gu's good temper was only towards Han Yunxi. Gu's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness and he viciously threw the Plum Blossom Needle at Gu Beiyue!
"Meddling in other people's business, go to hell!"
He was so ruthless that it was as if he had turned into a different person. He immediately turned to leave after throwing the needle. His right hand was still injured, so he had no choice but to leave!
The strength and speed of the Plum Blossom Needle was not inferior to the standard of a concealed weapon expert. Gu Beiyue seemed to be scared out of his wits as he stood rooted to the ground.
"Dodge it!" Han Yunxi shouted. However, even she felt that it was too late. The Plum Blossom Needle was about to sink into Gu Beiyue's heart! She closed her eyes in despair, not daring to look. Seventh Madame and Little Yi 'er were already scared out of their wits and had their eyes tightly shut.
However, they didn't see that just a second before the Plum Blossom Needle was about to sink into Gu Beiyue's heart, Gu Beiyue revealed a faint smile. An invisible force silently flowed out of his body and silently caused the Plum Blossom Needle to deviate.
Everything happened in an instant. The five-bladed Plum Blossom Needle pierced into the right side of his heart. It was very, very deep. One could imagine that if it had sunk into his heart, he would have died without a doubt!
She wondered how Gu would feel if he knew that he had failed and couldn't even kill a weak imperial physician.
In short, when Han Yunxi opened her eyes and saw Gu Beiyue clutching his chest and kneeling on the ground, she was scared out of her wits and rushed over without thinking.
"Gu Beiyue! Hang in there! You must hang in there. "
Gu Beiyue's face was deathly pale. There was a large patch of blood on his chest and hands. He raised his head to look at Han Yunxi and immediately fainted.
Han Yunxi had saved many people in her previous life and this life. No matter how serious or urgent the injury was, as long as she started to act, once she entered the state of mind, she could calmly calm down. However, this time, she couldn't calm down!
She couldn't imagine how sad she would be if this man with superb medical skills and gentle as jade died just like that.
She should have immediately checked the wound, stopped the bleeding, assessed the risk of pulling out the concealed weapon, and prepared for heavy bleeding. However, she panicked and messed up her order. She used all her strength to rummage through her medical bag, taking out all her instruments and medicines.
Perhaps, she wasn't panicking, but was afraid.
How could Gu Qishao miss when faced with a person who didn't even have the strength to truss up a chicken? Such a vicious needle must have been filled with killing intent.
Han Yunxi didn't dare to look at the concealed weapon. Seeing Gu Beiyue bleeding so much, she knew that the wound was very deep. She was afraid. She knew better than anyone that under the medical conditions of ancient times, the needle in the heart couldn't be removed. Even if it was forcefully removed, he wouldn't be able to survive.
